I have sent all 3 of my kid to the Montessori School of East Rutherford, and I must say that they have such a good background now because of it. My eldest is now in 4th grade, and I can see how he is excelling over his classmates who did not go to Montessori school. I highly recommend this school to any new family, who wants their children to learn and grow into great students and human beings.

I have sent my child to this school since she was 2 years old. My child is now 5 and in the kindergarten class. We love the directors, Ms. Pria & Ms. Grace, and the teachers who take so much care of the children. Regarding academics: our child is reading, doing math problems with addition and subtraction. we were told by other parents about their high academic standards and have experienced it first hand. We will recommend this school very much.
